I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

That's what the government does to get better deals out of microsoft.

It works something like this:

Government: We're moving to linux!
Microsoft: NOOO!!! DON'T GO!!! WE'LL GIVE YOU GOLD!
Government: Mkay, deal.

No, Microsoft is too cocky for that.  Instead, they say, "Fine, move to Linux.  We'll be right here when you come crawling back."

Dunno, I've heard of it happening a bunch of times before. I think that it would be worse for them to lose all of that business than give them a 10-20% discount.

They wont budge. They'll probably give it cheaper to a competitor.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Although I know a lot of Iranians(?), I laughed pretty hard.  :)
